Tips and trick

Open Source Software for running Windows applications on other operating systems.
Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.
Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software.
Any Windows replacement must run Windows applications
The dependency is not so much on Microsoft Windows as it is on Windows applications. Boxed off-the-shelf applications, games, in-house applications, vertical market applications, are what prevents users, companies and governments from switching to another operating system. Even if 90% of the needs of most users are taken care of if you can provide them with an office suite, an email client, a browser, and a media player, then there will still be a remaining 10% of their needs, potentially critical needs, that are not met. Unfortunately these remaining 10% are spread across a wide spectrum of applications: thousands of applications running the gamut from games to specialized accounting software for French farms, via Italian encyclopedias, German tax software, child education software, banking software, in-house software representing years of development, etc. It is the availability of all this software that makes Windows so compelling and its monopoly so strong. No platform will become mainstream unless it runs a significant portion of that software and lets individuals, companies and governments preserve their investments in that software.

Make your secrets invisible in just 3 quick steps!
How to send a secret file or message?
How to make your secret data invisible for others?
OurSecret (formerly Steganography): an excellent tool of embedding information on the contents of the file within another file! It is designed to hide and send your sensitive file or message.
Data transmissions are vital and became a necessity nowadays. Whether you share your private messages with your close friends, or business/commercial secrets with your partners, you must protect your confidential information from hackers, your boss, or your competitors. But we live in an insecure world where unwanted persons can access your personal information (like e-mails or personal documents) and often use it against you.
This application enables you to use digital data hiding techniques (OurSecret) to hide and encrypt files within other files (carriers) such as picture or sound files. This allows you to encrypt sensitive information, while at the same time hiding it in a file that will not look suspicious, so nobody even knows that there is any encrypted information.
The carrier files are fully functional and identical to the original files (except for size), so if data was hidden in a picture file, the picture can still be viewed normally. The program gives you the option to hide a small text message, or one or more files that you select. It uses 256bit encryption, advanced compression and you can specify a password to extract the hidden files.
